Parramatta Council dumps Seasons Greetings signs

Well, it seems western Sydney has been bitten by the Christmas backlash bug. Local papers report that Merry Christmas banners are back in place after Parramatta Council decided to dump Seasons Greetings signs.

Councillor Michael McDermott said, “Our community is fed up with this erosion of the true meaning and essence of Christmas through this ridiculous pre-emptive surrender of the real Christmas on the basis it may offend someone”

So far there’s no rhetoric of a “war on Christmas” thank God, just some fructration over over-zealous political correctness. Given the space Parramatta gave to Deepavali I think fairs fair.

I agree, Matt. Fair is fair. Unfortunately, it seems that few people are interested in actual fairness these days.

I think Nietzsche nailed the spirit of the age: the will to power. Fairness rarely comes into it.
